I am an electrician by trade, but I eat, breath, and sleep computers. I would discourage anyone from the computer field unless they are involved in computers as a hobby. When you have free time, do you find yourself thinking of things to do with computers? Do you tinker with hardware in your spare time? Do you dabble in HTML for fun?
Something you may not have thought about at this point is federal government work. There are opportunities for history majors in the national park service. Check USAJobs and see what pops up for a Bachelors degree in history.
The bottom line is to do something you are passionate about. You will far more successful if you love your work. This is coming from 20 years experience in a field I despise.
Good luck with your decision and job hunt.
